ISRO will launch the NVS-03 navigation satellite aboard a GSLV rocket from Sriharikota at 11:51 pm on October 30. The satellite will support continuity of India’s regional navigation services and carries an indigenous atomic clock and an added L1 frequency band.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced plans to launch the NVS-03 satellite on October 30 using a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) rocket. NVS-03 is the third satellite in India's next-generation navigation system, IRNSS, designed to maintain service continuity. The satellite is equipped with an indigenous atomic clock and uses the L1 frequency band alongside existing L5 and S bands, providing positioning and location information within India's landmass and up to 1,500 km beyond the country's boundaries.
